For Paris Internationale 2024, Gunia Nowik Gallery presents works by two female artists: Agata Bogacka (born 1976), one of the most established painters working in Poland today, and Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg (born 1987), a young emerging sculptor working in Berlin.

Bogacka’s work is characterized by competing planes of color in a state of transition, creating formal imbalances and tensions. The gradient used symbolizes blurring and setting boundaries, while directly referencing the complex relations existing between people and can be understood more broadly, on the political and societal levels, speaking to these overwhelmingly patriarchal systems and institutions.
Dunkelberg appropriates male production methods, welding and forging steel, aluminum, plastic herself. This playful yet significant shift expands women's presence in traditionally male spheres and enables her to create objects blurring distinctions between handcrafted and machine-made, 2D and 3D, painting and sculpture. Further, her ongoing Art Cars series humorously reinterprets male-dominated history by painting toy cars in the style of female artists, offering an ironic, feminist narrative.
